Hi. Where is this theme's link? I hope it wasn't censored. I hope I won't have to quit Linux after 9 years of exclusivity because of the kind of anti-communist censorship you would expect from Apple or Microsoft!

Exactly what I was searching! (yes I have a soviet theme on my computer) but I didn't have the icons. great style, I like it, but I can't install it cause it's a .zip could you import the corresponding .tar.gz please?? Thanks!

Nice graphics and style, excellent render too; for the meaning or political stuffs, do not worry, since colours or geometrical forms can add a meaning, symbols means something only when an individual wants them to mean something, otherwise, is all a waste of comments, besides this OPEN SOURCE applies to everything, and everyone, those who don't carry that philosophy, shouldn't be wasting their time around here.

Funny how some people can be hypocritical enough to think they're refusing authoritarianism by taking-down a soviet icon set. When in fact -- they're acting in a true, authoritarian fashion by suppressing artwork and free thinking.

WOW! a lot of people really want these icons down! as a matter of fact, I can´t download them... a really bad thing, because the icons look really good (and NO - this doesn´t mean I´m a communist) Did they put the link down because their STUPID requests? mmhh.. and what about the infamous north-american freedom? Let´s stop this stupid witchhunt, and begin enjoying the good ARTWORK.

my good it's not more well friends most the critized against urrs, come fromthe old enemys from west europe and EEUU ask the people in the street how like the new life in CCPP now poverty no housing glory to the capitalism and latin american i dont like what 's happend there before because was a deformation dont forgot the children of the rulers in ccpp study in the best west universities who nopw are the same rulers but capitalist for that you must make the revolution with the people and the people must contrl the power because if not can have the corruption controling the future but by the way some body can told me how can got this icons are prety nice

Soviet EQUALS NAZISM???? Are you inmensely stup*d? Or just plain ignorant? In case you don't know, the main reason the WORLD WAS NOT CONQUERED BY THE NAZIS was the fact that they lost the Stalingrad battle... AGAINST THE SOVIETS. That was the TURNING POINT during WWII. So, if there's anything SO ANTI-NAZI as the Soviets... let me know, because I can't think of anything. Soviets were VERY ANTI-FASCISTS, and I just can't imagine how you could see any resamblanse to the Axis murderers (Adolf and Benito). And now to more important matters: the icons look stunning! Awesome job. And I think that icons with a "theme" are a nice touch, honestly. Cheers. Wonderful job.

I didn't know that a mere iconset would result in this quasi uninformed political debate. If people want to place the blame on communism, then you better not look to Soviet states or states using the Marxist-Leninist political model. Those states aren't communist.

Marxist doctrine states that after revolution, when the bourgeoisie is overthrown by the proletariat, then a "dictatorship of the proletariat" is enacted. This dictatorship is responsible for laying down the groundrules of the Soviets, electing officials, and redistributing wealth from the leftover bourgeoisie class, as well as nationalizing privately held land and factories.

Then in theory, the state is supposed to wither away and die as the bureaucracy is no longer required to oversee citizen's every day lives, and government is handled exclusively by local soviets. Thus communism, or rather anarcho-communism. However, this process never has happened before in the history of world "communism". The dictatorship of the proletariat has always turned into a dictatorship of one. Fascism, despotism, totalitarianism, autocracy.

Lenin died before he could oversee the process of the state's withering away, and Stalin succeeded him and became a gluttonous and paranoid despot.

However, imperialism, capitalism and globalization have always and will continue to exploit the common people for the benefit of the rich and enabled minority. This is true in all Western countries, and I still believe that one day there will be a correct and righteous socialist revolution that will lead to true communism and world peace despite history's many abortions of such a state.

Strange people! Which do not know Russian, aggressive people - and we answer you. You wild people - and only our activity and Russia Imperia can create Great power. You in the impudence have bothered much you should answer.

Maybe comunist not have burned Jews bat certainly have sent many many people to die of starvation in Siberia just because they were not comunist!!! I think YOU must wikipedia it, expecially under the voice GULAG!!!
